157238998: Dynamic link not working with facebook

See original GitHub issue

Facebook (the most popular social app.) uses special head meta tag to convert page to dynamic link. Without this tag it opens the link in the ‘inAppBrowser’. Is there is way go integrate firebase dynamic links with facebook.

<meta property="fb:app_id" content="your_fb_app_id" />

<meta property="al:android:package" content="com.your.package" /> <meta property="al:android:app_name" content="YourAwesomeApp" /> <meta property="al:android:url" content="somescheme://XYZ" /> <!-- identifiable by your app, your app must handle this data scheme inside your manifest's intent-filter tag --!> <meta property="al:web:should_fallback" content="true" /> <meta property="al:web:url" content="http://www.yourwebsite.com/" />

Guys, since nobody from the Firebase team reacts to this two other issues about Dynamic Links not working (properly) in Facebook app, I contacted Firebase through their support. This is the response I got:

Just wanted to let you know that we are aware that Dynamic Links don’t work well with Facebook. Unfortunately, we don’t have a workaround for this issue, as it’s up to Facebook to determine how URLs are handled inside their app. The only suggestion I can provide would be to ask your users to open your links from a non-Facebook browser. Hope you understand.

So, don’t expect any fixes from Firebase and deal with the issue accordingly…
